Drop down population question

[Basu, Abhijit (Abhi)]

I am new to Struts and am having problems populating drop-downs from the 
database. I am actually getting a little frustrated with these tags, seems
like
no coding in java anymore. :)


1. ActionClass code excerpt:

        mBean.makeConnection();
          
        //get country list vector
                Vector v = (Vector)mBean.getCountryList();           
           
         request.setAttribute("lstCountry", v)

2. JSP code excerpt:

        The vector lstCountry contains CountryObject beans that have getters
and setters
for country_id and name.
        
        <bean:define id="c" name="c" type="com.whatever.CountryObject"/>
                <html:select name="c" property="country"  multiple="true">
                <html:options collection="lstCountry" property="country_id"
labelProperty="name"/>
                </html:select>

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Abhi
